I've honestly spent a decent amount of money on this game (something like 5 years of membership and 250,000acs) and donated a lot last gifting event because I got a new higher paying job, but it does get ridiculous. Especially since a lot of the Book of Lore rewards drop off in quality for a long while at my tier of whalefagging, for example the next bump up for an extra 50k acs is just swordhaven mansion. One that's way worse than the swordhaven castle I already got for the years played badges.

It feels like being a free player in modern AQW would be pure hell with all these great AC items and member exclusive stuff coming out (almost) every week while there's hardly any F2P stuff, but I'm probably a biased richfag now and misremembering what it was like scrounging up anything free no matter what it was and dealing with no inventory space.
Don't tell Artix, but I snagged a ton of AC items that were accidentally released as Gold items before they were patched by spawn camping server restarts, stuff like Fire Dancer's armour + weapons.
